COM MER CIAL.


HONOLULU. MARCH Is, 1857.
The week just closed has been characterised
by extreme dullness in the retail line. The
wholesale dealers report fair trade in sup
plies, mainly for the other Islands.
The weather still continues all that could
be desired, and the movement of sugars goes
on briskly-every vessel from the plantations
being full to its utmost capacity with this
commodity.
Recent advicss from San Francisco show a
slight decline in the price Of sugars-redned
as well as raw.
Herewith is presented Messrs, Williams,
Dimond Il Co.'S latest commercial trade
circular, TO hand Per 5. ). Australia
